Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Thickener & Cream

  • 1 cup heavy cream or milk
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Seasoning & Garnish

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil: In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat to prepare the base for your soup.
  2. Sauté the vegetables: Add diced onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Add chicken and broth: Stir in the shredded cooked chicken, 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth, frozen peas, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Bring the mixture to a simmer to combine the flavors.
  4. Prepare the cream mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of heavy cream (or milk) until the mixture is smooth to prevent lumps in the soup.
  5. Combine cream mixture with soup: Gradually pour the cream and flour mixture into the simmering pot, stirring constantly to ensure the soup thickens evenly without any lumps forming.
  6. Simmer the soup: Continue simmering the soup for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. This will allow the soup to thicken nicely and for flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  7. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of freshness and color. Serve immediately and enjoy your comforting High Protein Chicken Pot Pie Soup.

Notes

  • You can substitute heavy cream with milk for a lighter version, though the soup will be less creamy.
  • Use cooked shredded rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried; just increase the quantity slightly.
  • Adjust seasoning at the end as needed since broth and chicken may already contain salt.
